The 2009 Blue Mountains 'Eco Homes Tour'
comes to visit my house! |
|
| |
|
|
| |
'My god!... Look at them all!'
Imagine my surprise when a standard size bus pulled up in my street
and over 70 people swarmed towards my house!
When Nigel Bell (The eco-architect who organizes the Blue Mountains
tour) said 'A bus', I was expecting a large mini-bus. |
|
|
| |
|
| |
What followed was a enjoyable visit from 70 very inspired people,
all interested in eco-building.
I had many interesting talks with heaps of people. Unfortunately
there just wasn't enough time to meet them all.. I wanted to find
out
why every single person was on the tour and who was about to start
an epic journey or their own.

My house is about to get it's first real load-test! |

I actually had a few speeches prepared, but with the logistics
of getting 70 people in one spot just wasn't happening.
So I just blabbed on, answered questions
and generally had a ball.
Luckily Cindi (My beloved partner) handed out an information
sheet which covered a few things I wanted to mention.
It also had my contact details, so people could email me any questions
if they wanted to (Already recieved a few :). |
|
| |
The event, even though short was very satisfying for me.
It was a pleasure to show the first real group around my house.
It's such a long hard slog building a
house, and now finally, when the house actually finally looks
like a house. Showing
it off, somehow helps justifying the journey. |
